On July 4th, 2018, Leah Chowdhry became one of the first, recorded, young British Asian women to swim the English Channel, at 26 years old. With help from family, friends and generous donations she raised over £175,000 for the British Asian Trust, completing the 30-mile swim in just under 15 hours, despite obstacles like jellyfish, ship tankers and seasickness.
